7 June 2022 – Johannesburg, South Africa:
Platinum-selling artist and producer Daniel Baron has received two prestigious SAMA (South African Music Award) nominations for his latest self-produced and self-mixed album ‘City of God & The Jungle Below’.
His nominations included ‘Best Alternative Music Album’ and ‘Best Engineered Album of the Year’.
The 25-track mammoth concept album has also since garnered two number 1 hits on South African Top 40 Radio — namely the stadium-sized inspirational pop-rock anthem ‘How To Feel’ and the R&B infused alt-pop single ‘Religious Drug’.
Baron took to social media yesterday to show his gratitude: “What a beautiful feeling. I’m beyond grateful… Thanks be to God for my talents and thank you to the industry for acknowledging my art.”
Although he is currently spending his time producing and writing for a wide range of artists, Daniel is planning a countrywide tour for the spring months.

Daniel Baron has been actively touring for over 10 years. It’s time to take a trip down memory lane to look at some of the highlights.

Then… for those die-hard fans out there, we’ve pasted some further dates that you may remember attending and rocking out to your favourite DB tunes.

Johannesburg, 27 March 2020. Today, the country slips into a 21-day lockdown as a result of the rapid spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus. As many of us try and come to terms with what a lockdown means for our economy and country as a whole, pop star Daniel Baron hopes to ease some of the country’s anxiety as he drops his brand-new single ‘All I See’ – the second single off his upcoming fourth studio album ‘City Of God and The Jungle Below’.

The single comes weeks after the star returned to the music scene with his experimental record ‘Cannibal’. While that song showed off an edgier side of Daniel, the star goes back to his pop roots on ‘All I See’.

This kaleidoscopic pop spectacle takes an honest and raw glimpse into the mind of Daniel Baron and how he sees the world. In the lyrics, he admits to his own imperfections and touches on the current turbulent state of the world before alluding to how love can heal all.

“I want this song to be a beacon of hope, and perhaps something to ease the minds of those who hear it through these crazy and difficult times that our world is going through,” Daniel explains. “It’s about how, even in the midst of what feels like dooms-day, when I look into the eyes of my loved

ones I am fuelled with hope for our lives and for the rest of the world. When love is present, the apocalyptic curtain falls and the world immediately feels like a heaven on earth.”

The song stands out due to the fact that it is riddled with melodic hooks and sing-along choruses yet breaks the mould of the ordinary pop song structure as it transports you to a new unpredictable dimension for the thought-provoking ending.

‘All I See’ delves even deeper down the rabbit hole toward the full reveal of Baron’s forthcoming album ‘City Of God & The Jungle Below’ – a project the star has been working hard on over the past few months.

Now couldn’t be a better time to release such an inspiring track. “Music is a carrier of faith, hope and love. Songs have the power to do more than we know,” Daniel says. The world has entered uncharted territory and now, more than ever, it’s important for us as humanity to come together and do what’s right to flatten the curve so that we can limit the number of new Covid-19 infections and, in turn, prevent as many deaths as possible. “Stay at home, listen to some music and spend quality time with your loved ones,” Daniel encourages. “Pray for our doctors, our leaders, the less fortunate, and for the sick. Pray for the world. And again, most importantly, stay at home.”

‘All I See’ is now available on all major digital music platforms now. Download or stream it here:

“So here goes…
Three months ago my heart broke.
These months have been very difficult.
I allowed my heart to bleed into my music and I recorded a bunch of songs.
This is the first of them and one of the hardest songs I’ve ever had to write.
It’s called ‘One More Goodbye’.
To anyone out there that is going through heartbreak, stay close to God, and you’ll be fine.” – Daniel Baron

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 30 September 2016

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA

DANIEL BARON RELEASES FOLLOW-UP TO RECENT NUMBER 1 HIT

This year People Magazine named him “one of South Africa’s greatest pop stars” and now the hit-maker is set to storm the charts once again with a brand new addictive summer tune titled ‘Beautiful Noise’.

Following the mega success of his 2016 number 1 dance anthem ‘Children Of The Sun’ — which topped the charts on most radio stations and became one of the most played and downloaded songs in South Africa, also gaining attention throughout Africa, India and Europe — Baron has struck again with something fresher and ‘house-ier’ than anything he has done so far.

The song shows off a more emotional and alluring side to his voice, with a backdrop of stripped down South African house rhythms, and a bass-line that will get anyone on their feet. Daniel’s mastery shines bright throughout as he combines these elements so flawlessly to form something that is undeniably a ‘Beautiful Noise’.

“Instead of using a range of electronic elements I decided to use my voice to create different synth sounds which eventually formed the main hook. I’ve realized that sometimes simplicity is so much more powerful in music.” says Daniel who is currently embarking on his nationwide tour which kicked off in Cape Town in August, and now continues to Johannesburg (7 October, Madison Avenue Rivonia), Durban (8 October, Tiger Tiger), Johannesburg (29 October, Burning Carnival Festival), East London (26 November) and Jeffery’s Bay (28 December) — with more dates still to be announced.

‘Beautiful Noise’ is available exclusively on iTunes and Apple Music:

DANIEL BARON DEBUTS AND CONQUERS WITH NEW HIT 

Local star and multi-genre singer-songwriter Daniel Baron has broken yet another record for his own books. His latest tune ‘Children Of The Sun’, which is fast becoming one of SA’s favourite dance anthems, has entered the 5FM TOP 30 Chart at the number 1 position.

“It is a very rare occurrence when a song enters a chart at the top spot and I have my fans to thank for the incredible support they have given me.” says Baron, who is not new to chart success. ‘Children Of The Sun’ will mark his fourth number 1 hit, among other well-known offerings such as ‘Not Here’ featuring rap star ProVerb, and the successful collaboration ‘Say What You Want’ with supergroup ADAM.

It has not always been easy-sailing for the chart-topper. “I started writing songs and playing gigs at the age of fifteen, and after being turned down by a few record labels back then I decided to do it all on my own. Its been a very long and hard journey to get to where I am today, but its all been worth it.”

‘Children Of The Sun’ is also charting on most other radio stations across South Africa and last week the song became the second most downloaded SA dance track on iTunes. Daniel’s other achievements include winning a Wawela Music Award for Best Male Singer/Songwriter, opening for Bon Jovi, and writing songs for other artists and adverts including the DStv theme song ‘So Much More’.
